Abstract

In Indonesia, traditional methods still dominate agricultural practices, particularly in plant care and maintenance. The integration of an Arduino UNO microcontroller with a soil moisture sensor presents a significant advancement for farmers by facilitating precise soil moisture management. This study explores the application of the Arduino UNO microcontroller in the cultivation of water spinach (Ipomoea reptans Poir) under various moisture levels: 80-100%, 60-80%, 40-60%, and 20-40% of field capacity. The objectives of this research are to: (i) optimize the use of the Arduino microcontroller to enhance the growth of water spinach, (ii) evaluate the impact of different soil moisture levels on the growth of water spinach precisely regulated by the Arduino microcontroller, and (iii) identify the optimal moisture level for water spinach growth. The findings demonstrate that the Arduino microcontroller, in conjunction with the soil moisture sensor, operates effectively according to the programmed parameters, ensuring automated irrigation that meets the water requirements of water spinach. The results further indicate that varying moisture levels significantly influence the growth outcomes of water spinach, with a moisture content of 80-100% of field capacity yielding the most favorable growth and production. Additionally, water spinach plants maintained at 40-60% of field capacity produced crops suitable for marketability.

Abstract

Edamame potensial untuk dikembangkan sebagai komoditas unggulan karena permintaan pasarnya tinggi, berumur genjah, dan harga jualnya cukup menjanjikan. Namun demikian masih terdapat berbagai tantangan dalam aspek budidaya edamame. Produksi edamame di berbagai tempat dilaporkan masih tergolong rendah. Diperlukan teknik budidaya yang baik dan benar untuk menghasilkan produksi edamame yang tinggi. Edamame banyak dibudidayakan pada akhir musim penghujan atau menjelang musim kemarau.  Pengelolaan lingkungan menjadi faktor yang sangat penting untuk menjaga pertumbuhan dan perkembangan tanaman. Salah satu teknik budidaya edamame yang dapat dilakukan adalah penggunaan mulsa.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan mulsa pada sistem budidaya edamame.  Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Banjarrejo Kecamatan Batanghari Kabupaten Lampung Timur (ketinggian 60 m dpl, jenis tanah Podsolik Merah Kuning,  suhu rata-rata harian 26,86 ⁰C) Juni – Agustus 2020. Penelitian disusun menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok Lengkap (RAKL) dengan 3 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan.  Perlakuan terdiri dari : kontrol (M0),  mulsa jerami padi (M1), dan mulsa plastik hitam perak (M2). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penggunaan mulsa Jerami dan mulsa plastic hitam perak tidak memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman, jumlah cabang, jumlah polong isi 2 dan 3, bobot edamame per batang, dan bobot ubinan.  Produksi rata-rata edamame 13.191 t ha-1.

Abstract

In Indonesia, agricultural practices remain largely dependent on traditional methods, particularly in plant care and irrigation management. Such reliance often results in inefficient water use and inconsistent crop yields, underscoring the urgent need for technological innovation in precision agriculture. The integration of affordable microcontroller-based systems offers a practical solution for smallholder farmers to enhance crop productivity and resource efficiency. This study investigates the application of an Arduino UNO microcontroller integrated with a soil moisture sensor for the cultivation of water spinach (Ipomoea reptans Poir) under controlled irrigation conditions. Four soil moisture ranges were tested: 80–100%, 60–80%, 40–60%, and 20–40% of field capacity. The research objectives were to: (i) optimize the operation of the Arduino microcontroller for automated irrigation, (ii) evaluate the effects of different soil moisture levels on water spinach growth, and (iii) determine the optimal moisture range for maximizing growth and yield. The results demonstrate that the Arduino-based system reliably regulated soil moisture according to programmed parameters, enabling precise, automated irrigation aligned with crop water requirements. Growth performance varied significantly across treatments, with plants maintained at 80–100% of field capacity showing the highest growth rate and yield. Notably, water spinach cultivated at 40–60% of field capacity still produced marketable crops, indicating potential water-saving benefits. This research highlights the contribution of low-cost microcontroller technology in advancing precision agriculture for leafy vegetables. It provides practical insights for sustainable irrigation management, offering farmers a feasible pathway to improve productivity while conserving water resources.
